Frustrating
Bought this to fix daisy chain problems.
It's well built, well packaged and generally pretty solid. However, it doesn't appear to power a couple of the boutique pedals on my board properly which is concerning. They have no life at all, just the odd flickering LED, and one still has a pretty aggressive hum when engaged. I've swapped both of these pedals out for duplicates of the same pedal and the problem persists. Both pedals expect to receive the usual 9v supply. It functions well with other less demanding pedals (it's fine with an all BOSS board for example), but if you're running boutique pedals then try it out before you jump in. It's a lot of money for something that doesn't immediately do a better job than something you can pick up for 10% of the price...
I've tried troubleshooting this and can't find any reason for the problems other than the Fuel Tank. I will of course update this review if and when I find a solution/reason for the problems.

T-Rex Fuel Tank Junior
I bought this as a smaller, throw in the gig bag, version of it's larger brother, the Fuel Tank Classic.
It does everything you'd expect it to - delivering clean, reliable power to your pedals. The ability to switch voltages was much appreciated on a recent tour of Japan.
My only concern was that my T-Rex Fuel Tank Junior shipped without several of the included power cables, such as the voltage doubler and shorter length cables. These were mentioned in the product description, so once this was brought to Thomann's attention the problem was quickly solved.

Does the job
So long as the pedal doesn’t require lots of power (Strymon for instance) this will do a good job. Reasonably priced too.

I use T-Rex Fuel Tank Junior as my only power supply with T-Rex 56cm pedal board. Let's be honest - how many effects do you need to play with at once? 5 isolated outputs that can work with more than 5 effects, and 18-volt gear can also be connected - that is all what I have ever wanted. Noiseless, easy to use, durable metal case and really good-looking peace of gear that is small enough not to take much space, and fits under the t-rex pedal-board perfectly. The voltage switch (115v/230v) makes it ready for playing abroad and it is safely hidden behind a plastic cover so it is impossible to change settings by accident. There is really nothing i don't like about this item. Highly recommended!

All you need
If your board is not like boeing control panel this power supply will do the job.
There is noise but pretty much low. Not noticeable.
Pretty bad it got sold out.

Little red box of WIN
I previously had the Fuel Tank Chameleon (also a great piece of gear) on my board for seveal years and decided to downsize to the Junior because I needed more space and no longer needed 12 or 18-volt outputs. The Junior is every bit as good as the rest of the range - sturdy, simple, efficient, and reliable. And of course it doesn't hurt that it looks great.
I five outputs are enough for you and your pedals are all happy with 9 volts, definitely think about a Fuel Tank Junior.

As promised
I got this unit because the previous brand I used was not as described (outputs were not isolated, caused quite a high noise level.)
The Fuel Tank Jr is perfect for my pedalboard (Pedaltrain metro). The only thing I use a different power supply for is my Univibe clone. The ability to change input voltage depending on country is a super asset.
Great product!

Solid isolated power supply
I am using this to power a mix of analogue and digital power supplies and it works great. A combination of the leads provided and a daisy chain has reduced the noise of my board substantially. It was easy to set up. I would definitely recommend investing in this price range of power supply if you operate many pedals

Perfect..!
Bought to place underneath a Tone trunk small, it fits perfectly and work as expected...you can mix wah, Fuzz, analog and digital pedals and never you'll have buzz or hum, it changes life!
20euros per pedal, it worth it.

love it!
It does what I was hoping for!
It's clean,realiable and small. It looks solid build and easily fits under the pedalboard.
If you can live with the five outputs, I can't recommend this product enough!
